I ordered the TROM Laptop :D - finally. After weeks of research and days or discussions with the Slimbook and Tuxedo people I have decided to go for the Executive 16 Slimbook. Basically I wanted to buy a laptop around April next year after am done with TROM 2, but Slimbook had a 150 Euros discount so I said I might as well buy it now. I have a donation campaign for it where I explain it all.

This is the laptop:

Why buy this?

• Unlike Tuxedo that has plastic chassis with magnesium alloy steamed onto it, Slimbook is only magnesium and aluminium alloy. I want a "metal" laptop. No more plastic please!
• It has a 16'' screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. As tall as my 17.3'' laptop and only a bit less wide. Speaking of the screen seems like a great one, and almost no bezels.
  

  

  
  Thus it is smaller in size than a normal 15'' laptop.
• It is light and thin. Just 1.5kg light and 2cm max thin when closed. That's very portable.
• Good selection of ports. All I need!
• The power of it! The i7-12700H has 14 cores and 20 threads. My current one has 4 cores and 8 threads. Big difference. This laptop also has an NVIDIA RTX 3050Ti 4GB DDR6 - yes I do not game at all, but I do a lot of video editing and other tasks like live-streaming for TROMcast that could take a great deal of advantage of this nvidia GPU. All in all this laptop is a beast. Hardware wise should last me for at least a decade.
• Slimbook is designed for Linux and the folks behind it seem to be very open-source driven. They are also super friendly. I talked to them over email almost daily for the past days. Funny enough they know about TROM and TROMjaro haha. And even consider adding TROMjaro as one of the OS selections when people buy a Slimbook.
• They are from Spain, where I live, and I get 3 year warranty. Plus they have a bunch of spare parts on their website so I can repair mine in case I need to.
• The laptop has 2 m2 slots and that's super useful since I need a lot of diskspace.

On paper all looks great. The battery probably is not going to be great (nvidia!) and the keyboard....I hate that numpad thing and I never use it. I feel like it is a waste of space....but well.

Let's see when it arrives how good it is. But yeah, I am happy I finally did this. My current laptop is some 6-7 years old and I think I can for sure keep a laptop for a decade if it is well built.

Thanks to @Roma for making this possible!
